Palomino, C.W. Humpy Parachute, Royal Wulff Stimulator
This program showcases three completely different flies. Carolyn starts off with an emerger pattern, the Palomino. This fly is interesting because it is tied with black materials, but it can also be tied with olive or cream. The C.W. Humpy Parachute makes a wonderful attractor and searching pattern. The flashy post can easily be seen even in rough water. The method of finishing the fly around the post instead of the front of the fly makes it unique. Lastly, Carolyn ties the Royal Wulff Stimulator. She uses deer hair in place of elk hair, which has LeRoy eager to try the substitute himself. The Stimulator makes a great floater, and is popular on several Northwest rivers.

Clark's Stone Fly, Bug-Eyed Jig, Fire Butt Bomber
Effective in moving water, the Clark's Stone Fly can be tied in many different color combinations. LeRoy uses multiple colors of yarn combed together to form this effective wing. The Bug-Eyed Jig is Carolyn's favorite steelhead fly. In fact, she caught her largest steelhead with this fly! The Fire Butt Bomber features a bright dubbed rear section of the fly. It is used to fish steelhead, Atlantic salmon, and large rainbow trout.

Parachute Adams, Deer Hair Caddis, Mother's Day Caddis
There are very few anglers who have not heard of the Adams pattern. With hackle point wings, the Parachute Adams is just a variation of the original Adams. It is an excellent searching pattern. In fact, many fly fishers have said over and over, "If there is not a hatch going on, put on an Adams." In this program Carolyn surprises LeRoy with a Deer Hair Caddis, a pattern he has never seen before. It is also one of Carolyn's favorite patterns; one she swears is successful in any water. To complete the program, the Mother's Day Caddis is tied by LeRoy. It offers a dark silhouette as the fish look up into a bright sky.
